Would have never, ever, ever believed 10 years ago that a Duke HC would turn down the Tennessee HC job. Unreal.
He may be more damaged by this now that someone's sprayed "Schiano covered up child rape" on the rock on UT's campus than before. It's possible you can have Penn State ties and not be associated with them in the public mind. Vetting is unlikely to prove anything conclusive. But once there has been a controversy about your ties to the scandal, then the next place that hires him has to explain why they didn't care about this issue when Tennessee did, or risk a similar reaction from their fanbase. I'm not sure too many ADs are going to take that risk when the guy isn't a transcendently excellent football coach.I doubt this does a whole lot to Schiano. The guy was vetted by the NFL and Ohio state well after the Sandusky case. If he was so damaged because of that, he never would have landed those jobs.
This is far far worse and more embarrassing for Tennessee. They look spineless and clueless.
Plus he was an assistant at Tennessee for like 20 years.Would have never, ever, ever believed 10 years ago that a Duke HC would turn down the Tennessee HC job. Unreal.
He's only 3 years younger than Saban. That seems like a long shotPlus he was an assistant at Tennessee for like 20 years.
He went to Alabama I think. I wonder if he's holding out for a shot when Saban retires.

He tweeted — “Cowboy for life!”Mike Gundy turned down a 6 year, $42 million contract from Tennessee and will remain at OSU. He met with Tennessee today in Dallas.
I don't get the uproar over Herm to ASU. Yes, he was terrible as a coach in the NFL, but his affable demeanor and "rah rah" coaching style seems like exactly the type of crap that would clean up on the recruiting trail. Throw in some good assistants and I don't think it's crazy to suggest that it could work out.
If true that's probably the a much better hire they could have made from day one."Sources tell @NBCDFWSports that former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is working on a deal to become the next coach at Tennessee. A deal could be announced Friday. I’m working on more details."
It would be surprising if a Dallas station got the scoop on this but this last week has been crazy so who knows
Or Oklahoma State twice.Would have never, ever, ever believed 10 years ago that a Duke HC would turn down the Tennessee HC job. Unreal.
If I'm University of Tulsa I'm begging Todd Graham to come back.ASU had the option of not firing the coach with the best record since the 80s and saving the $12m it cost to fire him. Graham wasn't great but he was 44-30 and 4-2 against Arizona.
I meant as coachTennessee should rehire Phillip Fulmer
Danny Kannell quoted them on SiriusXM . I quoted him. So my bad for not checking. Still not good but not .500 badI don’t know where you get your numbers from but I see he’s 32-17 without Winston in the ACC.
